Could you watch this forever? I sure as hell could.
But we shouldn't be distracted by frivolity. We should be educated by it. Case in point:
Likewise, there are sentences containing the word fuck which are ambiguous between a meaning parallel to (1) and a meaning parallel to (2): (25) Fuck Lyndon Johnson. This sentence can be interpreted either as an admonition to copulate with Lyndon Johnson or as an epithet indicating disapproval of that individual but conveying no instruction to engage in sexual relations with him.
I almost feel the need to print that entire article out so that I might properly delineate it with highlighters and pen notes in the margins, but I figure an actual understanding might be completely besides the point.
Besides, knowledge – like macramé – is for women, owls, and the infirm.
